   Good morning! ☕ I am spending my weekend shopping for a new car to replace my 20-year-old Toyota Echo (yes, I keep my cars until they are nothing but rust and dust!). ?

   I had been apparently living under a rock, and I was not aware of the long wait times to buy a new vehicle here in Canada (6-9 months for a Corolla, 12-14 months for a Corolla Cross). ?

   I *HATE* car shopping with every fibre of my being (another reason why my current car is 20 years old).

   Thank you for letting me vent. ?

     @ryanschultz If the majority of your commute is local, consider an electric car. We love ours and it's so much cheaper to maintain.

     @Mrfunkedude Unfortunately, the wait times for electric/hybrid vehicles are even longer than for gasoline models (years in some cases). And I need to replace my car as soon as possible.
